During the Pre-Qin period, Guangdong area was inhabited by the NanYue ethnic people.
Qin unified South China in 219 A.D.
and set up Guilin, Xiangjun and Nanhai prefectures.
Today’s Guangzhou is where the Nanhai Prefecture was located.
At the beginning of the Western Han Dynasy, a former Qin commanding general, Zhao Tuo by name, founded the first local state in the presentday Guangdong area, the Kingdom of Nanyue, thus promoting the fusion between the Han and the Yue ethnics and accelerating the social, economic and cultural progress in South China.
Under the Wu Kingdom of the Three Kingdoms period, the region to the north of Hepu was named Guangzhou, which ruled the Nanhai, Changwu and Yulin prefectures.
Hence, the name of “Guangzhou” came into being.
At that time, China’s foreign trade channel starting from Panyu was established, which is the origin of the Maritime Silk Road.
In Ming Dynasty, Guangdong became one of the 13 provinces.
The early Qing Dynasty inherited Ming’s system and set up Guangdong Province.
